Estimate
Assertively perfumed aromas of fresh red berries, cherry, blood orange, exotic spices and candied flowers are accompanied by a smoky mineral nuance that builds with air. Smooth and seamless in texture, offering vibrant raspberry, black cherry, spicecake and candied lavender flavors that convey a suave marriage of power and delicacy. Closes smooth, gently tannic and extremely long, leaving sappy red fruit, orange pith and floral pastille notes behind.
Dense and suave aromas of cassis, lilac and caramel-topped toast show on the rich but elegant nose... Chiseled tannins and a fresh acidity frame the palate, where lovely, dark and ripe fruit flavors meet with a copious helping of baking spice.
More red and black fruits, ground pepper, aged beef, and leather...medium to full-bodied, round, expansive, sexy blend has supple tannins, no hard edges, and a great finish.
A handsome blend, refined and well-built, with black raspberry, garrigue and river stone tones that build richness and tension on the finish.
